After getting the rocker box out I see that it aint gonna happen that way.It appears to me that I am going to have to take the top off and rear quarters and get the rear floor replaced first. The wonderful engineers at GM made it so you cant get to two of the bolt heads to remove the inner panels unless you remove the quarter panels including the B pillar. looks like I may as well go ahead and tear the whole rig down and start from scratch. It i the only way I see to get to everything and do it right
isnt that amazing, all that work couldve been saved, IF you had access to those bolts. if you cut an access door in the B post, above the rear floor, you may get to them. nice work....

wish i lived closer, but it looks like you have things under control
